November 25th Longrock Sailing & Med Gulls

Published by admin at 12:22 am under Uncategorized

Phone call from Justin to say they were heading out at Longrock and he was guaranteed to do a reverse today the wind and waves were perfect… were being the operative word as they were before they went in but apparently not after they went in lol.. seriously though the wind di drop tremendously making it really difficult for any decent jumping.. still there were one or two straight jumps worth a mention.. Here’s the first.

1st jump of the afternoon for Martin

A couple of Jackdaws were watching Leanne making lunch sure of the fact that some crumbs were gonna come their way but doing their best to hide from the wind…strategic rock wind dodging

Meantime Justin was seeking out any waves he could for a bit of wave riding… of course he made his best jump while I was standing cup of tea in one hand and sandwich in the other.. aint it always the way :)

The wind was already falling away quite rapidly and the action soon slowed down.. with not enough speed to make the jumps it was time for a little wave riding.. but there were some nice waves at least.. like this one.

Meantime back on the beach a mediterranean Gull was busily foraging for food in the waters edge whilst dodging the waves..

The boys were enjoying the waves as the wind had slowed right down..
